The ISP often provides you with a dynamic IP address when you connect to the Internet via 
your ISP. It means that the public IP address assigned to your router changes each time you 
access the Internet. The Dynamic DNS feature lets you assign a domain name to a dynamic 
WAN IP address. It allows the router to update its online WAN IP address mappings on the 
specified Dynamic DNS server. Once the router is online, you will be able to use the 
registered domain name to access the router or internal virtual servers from the Internet. It is 
particularly helpful if you host a web server, FTP server, or other server behind the router.   
Before you use the Dynamic DNS feature, you have to apply for free DDNS service to the 
DDNS service providers. The router provides up to three accounts from three different 
DDNS service providers. Basically, Vigor routers are compatible with the DDNS services 
supplied by most popular DDNS service providers such as www.dyndns.org, 
www.no-ip.com, www.dtdns.com, www.changeip.com, www.dynamic- nameserver.com. 
You should visit their websites to register your own domain name for the router. 
Enable the Function and Add a Dynamic DNS Account

Assume you have a registered domain name from the DDNS provider, say 
hostname.dyndns.org, and an account with username: test and password: test
